Hi! Welcome to my Advent of Code 2024 repository. I hope you find it fun, helpful, or maybe just a little inspiring.
I’m learning Rust while solving these puzzles, so expect lots of comments along the code and some trial and error.
Advent of Code is an annual calendar of programming puzzles that can be solved in any language. This year, I’ve chosen Rust because it’s new to me, and I'd like to learn the basics by solving small problems one day at a time.
Whether you’re a seasoned Rustacean or just here for some fun solutions, feel free to poke around!
- Commented Solutions: Each solution comes with detailed comments explaining both the puzzle logic and Rust-specific syntax.
- Easy Navigation: Everything is organized by day so you can find what you’re looking for quickly.
- Open Source: Contributions are welcome! Whether it’s an alternative solution or just a suggestion to improve my Rust skills, I’d love to hear from you.
Here’s how to try these solutions on your own machine:
git clone https://github.com/your-username/AdventOfCode2024.git
cd AdventOfCode2024If you don’t already have Rust installed, you can grab it from here.
cd advent-of-code-2024/
cargo runAdvent of Code puzzles are released daily, and I’ll be adding solutions here as I solve them. Each one links to the code and includes comments breaking down the approach. 🎁

If you’re learning Rust too, here are some of the resources I’ve found helpful along the way:
- 📖 The Rust Programming Language (Book) – Your go-to guide for all things Rust.
- 🦀 Rustlings – A set of exercises that will walk you through the basics.
The best part of Advent of Code is the community, and I’d love for you to join in! Here’s how you can contribute:
